Target Audience???
what is this thing who are you
A kid was turning away to return to his group of friends, but pauses. He then turns around to the viewer, asking "Wait a minute. Who are you?"
In a bid to try and be more active on Blacksky, I agreed to be asked a bunch of questions about my blog, like who my target audience is. And it kept stumping me because I don't really have one in mind. I mean, I guess if you like nostalgic navel-gazing 40-plus people, you should sign up! But I'm not after a specific demographic. I'm just a nostalgic ruminating millennial who types to damn much.
After much yammering on my part I managed to distill it to "BLERDy Creative Slice-of-Lifer" because I dunno yo, this is just a personal blog with the occasional Essay Topic that could probably warrant a "target" audience. It's for fun, never for profit (but the tip jar is in the footer).
In short: not all blogs are journals, and not all journals need to be blogs. But I am of the "journal blog" variety, where my primary audience is myself, and sometimes I feel like sharing.
It's... whatever, yo.
And that's cool.
I want to thank DaPurpleSharpie for reaching out and making me think about this sorta thing. She saw the smoke come out of my ears and everything!
